claimed to have accidently run over a badger, whilst driving along a country lane the other night, she said she went home got a shovel and buried it. Everyone thought it was hilarious, i was very sad and said that i believe there is a badger protection society, who requests any reporting of injured or dead badgers in order to keep track of numbers?

Knarfwiz lol! yeh we may well have issues - hasnt anyone? is it an issue to be concerned about your environment and wildlife?
Johnsol think u will find u r wrong - as badgers ARE a protected species, this is why theyre numbers are monitered?

DEFRA and the local Wildlife Trust keep track of live, injured and dead badgers.
In my area a few years back we had several badgers die from being poisoned. DEFRA (Department in charge of the Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs) were informed by the local police, and the a lot of the local farmers were warned to be more careful with pesticides and the like.

I think it's sad when anything gets run over. Go up the A12 any day and see all the dead animals and birds at the side of the road. I think people run them over deliberately north of Essex. However, back to badgers...aren't the government culling them or something because of TB in cows - or did I just dream that??

Wasn't that a line from a Humphrey Bogart movie? The famous line from 'Treasure Of The Sierra Madre'
Badgers? We don't need no stinkin' badgers!

Badgers are a protected species. But there is no autority for counting thier numbers or deaths, as there is no authority for counting thier births. I believe they survey numbers when neccessary.
It is only agricultural livestock and dogs which need to be reporting
